If I recall correctly, Jaked suits were made by an Italian company, though I'm not sure they were made in Italy or were imported. Their company shot to fame around 2008-2009 when they developed those full-body polyurethane tech suits Byron mentioned that helped break so many world records at the 2009 World Swim Championships in Rome (something like 43 world records were set, which was unheard of in previous meets). Then swimming officials wisely decided to ban those suits since they aided a swimmer's flotation - something that had been banned for many years. Since then, I think Jaked has had a tougher time in the market.
